Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV noted, “Gully Boy can be whole-heartedly praised for its craft, engaging characters and Ranveer Singh. He destroys the slow-burning rapper action. What’s more, he accomplishes it with a lot of power to limit.”
Composing for Film Companion, Baradwaj Rangan rated Gully Boy three stars out of five and discovered it to be “softer than anticipated, but hugely entertaining and beautifully completed”.

Jay Weissberg of Variety noted, “Zoya Akhtar’s most accomplished movie to date is a mainstream rap musical about a Muslim male from working-class Mumbai decided to break free from the strictures of anticipation and class, all filled up with great helpings of deftly composed hip-hop lyrics and a mostly well-woven narrative” including “Ranveer Singh in all his charms.”
Raja Sen of NDTV rated the movie 4 out of 5 stars and stated, “Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, an underdog story glowing a light on India’s incipient hip-hop subculture, is the foremost great Hindi movie of 2019 and a rousing celebration of spunk. The reporting is enthralling, the texture fantastic, and this world is a revelation.
Here are characters without room to breathe who describe themselves breathlessly, through a style of music that has forever belonged to the marginalized. Dissent discovers a way and a beat.”
